The Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry were this week awarded to scientists for groundbreaking research into climate, complex systems, and a new type of catalyst.

Princeton University’s Syukuro Manabe, 90; Klaus Hasselman, professor emeritus at the University of Hamburg, 89; and Giorgio Parisi, 73, of the Sapienza University of Rome, will share the prize for physics and a 10m Swedish kronor (£836,000, $1.16m) windfall.

This year’s prize is split in two, with Manabe and Hasselman recognized on one side for developing models of Earth’s climate, and Parisi on the other side for his work on complex systems. Manabe and Hasselman were already known for predicting global warming from rising levels of carbon dioxide.
